pest control soap application on All
Quick answer
If your All has pest control soap application, the most likely cause is: Potassium salts in liquid soap dissolve the waxy cuticle of soft-bodied insects, causing desiccation through disruption of cell membranes. The soap breaks down insect exoskeletons, destroying their waterproofing and leading to fatal water loss within 30-60 minutes of contact.
Start here:
- 1. Mix 1-2 tablespoons pure liquid soap (not detergent) per quart of water
- 2. Use room temperature distilled water for best effectiveness
